As a creative soul, I'm always on the lookout for artistic challenges. I refuse to be bound by rules, time limits, or expectations. My approach is to create in my own unique way.
I always have a clear vision of the final picture in my mind, and I'm determined to bring my projects to life, even if I'm not sure of the technicalities – I'll figure them out.
My name is Mariya, was born and grew up in Ukraine. Today i am Chicago-based/international documentary photographer.

... Her work is truly REMARKABLE and we are soooo happy with our photos. They were TRULY BEHIND THE SCENES and captured some of the most amazing moments from our wedding from various perspectives. She MADE COMMENTS of how to adjust and look which really helped get some STUNNING PHOTOS that were still ABOUT the MOMENT ITSELF and less about staging...
